HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

Your results are not very significant and doesn't indicate with 100% surety that you have Typhoid . Actually a value of 1:160 or more is considered significant .

What you can do is , you can get a different test for Typhoid which will give confirmation with 100% surety . The test is called IgM and IgG Typhi dot test.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
